I like pie better than cake. When we were planning our wedding (almost 15 years ago) we decided to have a cake but also assorted mini pies. It was an Autumn wedding so we had apple, pumpkin, chocolate cream and fruits of the forest pies. Everyone loved them. And I make a pie probably twice a month, and I have a slice for breakfast almost every day. You never know what the day will bring so I like to start my day with a dessert and a black coffee. Lol!

I really do appreciate it when chefs explain *why* the specific steps are important and what they do. It helps me remember and really deliver the best replication of a recipe!

Does he have a cooking show somewhere? so eloquent and charming.

[Lililililili]

Someone give this man a show please!!!! He’s perfect for tv, good storyteller and super charismatic!

I’ve been feeling kind of depressed all day, but suddenly I watch this video of a nice guy making a grandmotherly-looking apple pie, and now I feel like my mood has lifted

This man gives me "your favorite band teacher in highschool" vibes

[marley]

I had the rare pleasure of working with Bill. He was brilliant, creative, an excellent teacher, and most of all, kind. I'm so grateful for that time, for all he taught me, and for everything I learned just by watching him.

And I'm extra grateful for the memory of watching him hide, in his kitchen whites, behind a potted plant in the FOH.

I did this recipe... was fucking delicious. My family didn't even let the pie cold, we eat it almost right out of the oven. Was amazing <3 ty chef (the crust... following the instructions was heavenly made, totally worth the wait on the fridge)

[christinaify]

Being accused of being too delicious by a health nut president....I can't think of a better compliment! Thank you so much for sharing your techniques, I hope I can make it even 1/2 as delicious as you did <3

[Livealohahawaii]

I’ve been baking pies for many, many years and have never seen this method of baking an apple pie. I am looking forward to making it. Thanks for the lesson!

The one dude to be proud of the nickname “crust master”

[lipsohlips]

Says a lot that even as busy as he was he always made a point to have dinner with his wife and kids :)

[elizabethharttley]

Oh you can tell that crust is going to be divine, butter and flour, folded and chilled.

[paulaburgess]

Thank you! I baked my first apple with your recipe. I learnt all the things I was doing wrong before this. My pie came out beautifully delicious. I will be using this recipe every time from now onward.

[swheels]

Made this recipe for thanksgiving. Massive hit. Not a bite left. Thanks Bill!

[emilychen]

Can we have more videos with him? He's so charming and actually makes me want to make the recipes

[King-dpcm]

You can tell he is really proud of his work and his position. That’s great 😊

[redwoods]

I'll never forget when Michelle Obama gave an interview early on and talked about all the different homemade pies available at the White House. I have never been able to get that picture out of my head after all these years. I'd give anything to taste the pies at the White House. My little dream.

“You’re gonna make me as fat as Taft!”
I appreciate a good historical joke.

I would love to see more videos presented by this lovely gentleman. A cookbook of President’s Pies would be amazing.
